| Oh what a circus, oh what a show
|
| Argentina has gone to town
|
| Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
|
| We’ve all gone crazy
|
| Mourning all day and mourning all night
|
| Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right
|
| Oh what an exit, that’s how to go
|
| When they’re ringing your curtain down
|
| Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
|
| It’s quite a sunset
|
| And good for the country in a roundabout way
|
| We’ve made the front page of all the world’s papers today
|
| But who is this Santa Evita?
|
| Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
|
| What kind of goddess has lived among us?
|
| How will we ever get by without her?
|
| She had her moments, she had some style
|
| The best show in town was the crowd
|
| Outside the Casa Rosada crying, «Eva Peron»
|
| But that’s all gone now
|
| As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
|
| We’re all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years
|
| Salve regina mater misericordiae
|
| Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
|
| Salve salve regina
|
| Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
|
| Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
|
| O clemens o pia
|
| Hail, oh queen, mother of mercy
|
| Our life, sweetness, and hope
|
| Hail, hail, oh queen
|
| To you we cry, exiled sons of Eve
|
| To you we sigh, mourning and weeping
|
| Oh clement, oh loving one
|
| You let down your people Evita
|
| You were supposed to have been immortal
|
| That’s all they wanted, not much to ask for
|
| But in the end you could not deliver
|
| Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
|
| Enjoy your prayers because you haven’t got long
|
| Your queen is dead, your king is through
|
| And she’s not coming back to you
|
| Show business kept us all alive
|
| Since seventeen October 1945
|
| But the star has gone, the glamour’s worn thin
|
| That’s a pretty bad state for a state to be in
|
| Instead of government we had a stage
|
| Instead of ideas, a prima donna’s rage
|
| Instead of help we were given a crowd
|
| She didn’t say much, but she said it loud
|
| Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
|
| Enjoy your prayers because you haven’t got long
|
| Your queen is dead, your king is through
|
| She’s not coming back to you
|
| Salve regina mater misericordiae
|
| Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
|
| Salve salve regina Peron
|
| Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
|
| Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
|
| O clemens o pia
|
| Don’t cry for me Argentina
|
| For I am ordinary, unimportant
|
| And undeserving of such attention
|
| Unless we all are, I think we all are
|
| So share my glory, so share my coffin
|
| So share my glory, so share my coffin
|
| It’s our funeral too |
